oil-p gauge?
I tried searching just had no luck so I'm just gonna ask. The oil-p gauge, is this oil pressure, and what level of pressure do I need keep it at? when I bought it the gauge like 7/8ths full and after driving it for 4 days I find it has dropped to about 5 or 6 8ths full and has not gone down at all in the last 3 days of driving. So what is the appropriate level on the gauge. I'm a rotary retard at this point, I'm just trying to learn all I can. Thanks.

Is your car an 06 or 07 model? I know for sure that on the 04 and 05 models the oil pressure gauge is not a functional gauge because the needle doesn't move. Racing Beat sells a mod you can buy to make it a functional gauge.

If you're talking about the dipstick, the original one wasn't well marked. There is an improved version with more marks. You don't need to replace your stick - just look up the TSB and get an idea of what the scale is. I think a lot of us top off when the oil gets a half quart below full, but that's probably a bit obsessive.

lol I check it more that once a week. Sometimes I just feel like looking under my hood. So I go out and take a look at everything. Just to be certain all is well.
